I am the owner of a Charter Fishing Company in Alaska, Black Rock Charters. I have been wearing XtraTuf boots for over 20 years now. I would never think of buying any other pair of work boots other than XtraTufs.
I have always worn the non-insulated 16” boots. I wear them to work on the boats every day, I wear them around casually on my days off, I have golfed in them. I also find them very valuable to use for hunting and hiking boots as well.
They are extremely flexible and don’t rub on your ankles or feet in any sort of way. You don’t feel like your wearing a typical rubber boot when you have them on all day long. I have friends who wear the 16″ insulated boots all the time, even during the summer time. They keep your feet cool in the summer heat and warm during the winters chill. Until you try these boots out you don’t know what you are missing out on! Anyone who wears boots needs to try XtraTuf boots. The only boot you will ever need again!

Owner of Black Rock Charters
I have been an Xtratuf boot fan since 2002 when I worked on a charter fishing boat in Southeast Alaska, in a town called Gustavus. While working for Black Rock Charters I realized that simple boot wear would not be sufficient, what I really needed was a pair of insulated Xtratuf boots.
Once I purchased my first pair, I have never looked for any other type of waterproof footwear. The choice was made, I had to have Xtratufs.
The one problem I encountered was finding a pair of boots once I left Alaska. Searching my local marine store did not yield any, and long searches on the internet left me burnt out.
So I decided to create a website were people with similar passion could share their stories and order a pair of boots.
